THE OCZ DDR2 PC2-9200 FlexXLC, reviewed here by Madshrimps, has come up a few times in the hardware roundup and while the results are always extremely good, the overall impression seems to be somewhat varied, particularly when considering the effectiveness of the water cooling. Regardless, there is no doubt that this is some of the best performing memory around and that the water cooling will add longevity if nothing else, unless of course some of the coolant leaks and fries the entire PC.

Rbmods has reviewed the Creative X-fi XtremeGamer soundcard and is delighted that Creative has made a cheap but still well performance sound card for those who can do without all the frills but don't want to sacrifice quality.

XSreviews has taken a long hard look at the Connect3D x1950XTX and although the performance increase over an X1900 series card isn't massive it will made a good upgrade from any older Radeon series, but you may want to seriously consider changing the stock cooler.

HardwareLogic has been waxing lyrical in its INTEL Core 2 Duo E6600 Dual Core Processor Review reckoning that it surpasses all other CPUs at that price point, performing and overclocking well while remaining stable.

IT-review continues its Korg M3 (p)review - part II but be warned when these guys discuss a keyboard here they don't mean the QWERTY kind, but rather the make sweet music kind, or in our case the make a horrendous cacophony kind.

If you're looking a high quality PC case with plenty of space and features, and you don't intend to be lugging it around to LAN parties or showing it off to your friends then you may want to check out Bjorn3d's review of the Antec P180B Performance One ATX Case.

XSreviews has reviewed the MSI 7600GT 256mb DDR3 Passive which performs admirably and the compact passive cooler means noise isn't a problem. The card can run the latest games at decent frame rates at reasonable settings and if you aren't too fussed about DirectX 10 then this may be right up your alley.

BIOS magazine brings us its take on the D-Link Network Storage Enclosure (DNS-323), which looks to be an easy to use device that will let you share, backup and protect your files, although the it appears that the firmware could use some tweaking.

Madshrimps has some fun Reviving and Volt Modding an Abit AW9D-Max Motherboard which, it should be stressed, should not be attempted unless you don't mind losing the hardware you're fiddling with as there is a very possibility of things going bang. Still looks like a lot of fun though.

For those people who've decided that water cooling is the way to go and are looking around for a good product at a reasonable price then you may want to check out Virtual-Hideout's Swiftech Apogee GT Water Block Review, provided you have the space to stand the cooling tower. ยต
